American Civil War wip

I mentioned before that I'm planning an "American Civil War Week" along the lines of my "New Zealand Wars Week" of last year. I have 4 ACW regiments finished and am working on the final one. There are a couple of vignettes to polish off too. I haven't taken any proper photos yet - the dire weather in the UK have prevented that, as I need to go outside and it just hasn't stopped raining since (I think) late March. But here are a couple of "teasers" of the Jackson's 1862 command so far. All are 25mm Dixon Miniatures, with 3 GMB flags and 2 hand-painted ones. There is an interloping Alabama regiment, but otherwise the brigade is Virginian. About two thirds of the figures were painted over 10 years ago and the remainder since March this year.

Something I've noticed since Blogger unilaterally decided to change the format of their blogs is that placing photos is now much more confusing....

Hi Giles,10 years ago and really nice painting. Yip blogger likes to keep us on our toes!!! I just centre all my posts now and don't try to wrap any text around the pics as it is just to unpredictable.CheersPaul

Very nice to see another fan of the ACW Dixon figures. I've done a lot over the years. They do have a bit of their own character, but I've always found it works well for me. Yours are very nicely done and inspiring!
